STR-RMD INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SINGLE-FUNCTION WIRELESS REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM 

FOR OPERATING HI/LOW SERVO MOTOR 

INTRODUCTION 

This remote control system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for gas heating 

appliances.  The system is operated manually from the transmitter.  The system operates on radio frequencies (RF) within a 20' range 

using non-directional signals.  The system operates on one of 65,536 security codes that are programmed into the transmitter at the 

factory; the remote receiver must learn the transmitter code prior to initial use.  

TRANSMITTER 

This remote control SYSTEM offers the user a battery-operated remote control to 

power a DC servo-motor to remotely turn the gas log set on, off and adjust the 

flame height.   

The servo motor circuit uses the battery power from the receiver to operate a 

servomotor. The circuit has reversing polarity software, which reverses the 

positive (+) and negative (-) output of the receiver's battery power to drive the 

servo motor forward/backward (HI/LO FLAME). The remote transmitter controls 

the SYSTEM. 

The transmitter operates on a 12V battery (A-23). Before using the transmitter 

install the 12-volt battery in the battery compartment. 

It is recommended that ALKALINE batteries always be used for longer battery life 

and maximum operational performance. 

The transmitter has ON/HI, LO, and OFF functions that are activated by pressing 

the buttons on the face of the transmitter.  When a button on the transmitter is 

pressed, a signal light on the transmitter illuminates to verify that a signal is being 

sent.  Upon initial use, there may be a delay of three seconds before the remote 

receiver will respond to the transmitter.  This is part of the system's design.  If the 

signal light does not illuminate, check the position of the transmitter's battery. 

REMOTE RECEIVER 

IMPORTANT 

THE REMOTE RECEIVER SHOULD BE POSITIONED WHERE  

AMBIENT TEMPERATURES DO NOT EXCEED 130° F. 

The remote receiver (right) operates on four 1.5V AA-size batteries.  It is 

recommended that ALKALINE batteries be used for longer battery life and 

maximum microprocessor performance.  IMPORTANT:  New or fully charged 

batteries are essential to proper operation of the remote receiver as a servo 

motor's power consumption is substantially higher than standard remote control 

systems. 

NOTE:  The remote receiver will only respond to the transmitter when the 3-

position slide button on the remote receiver is in the REMOTE position. The 

remote receiver houses the microprocessor that responds to commands from the 

transmitter to control system operation.
